Carson admits his campaign was full of grifters
They took advantage of the fundraising, says Ben Carson.
In an interview with Detroit talk radio host Frank Beckmann yesterday, Carson admitted that there were “a number of problems” with the management of his campaign and that some of his advisers “began to take advantage” of the money his candidacy was attracting.
“There were a number of problems,” Carson told Beckmann. “People that were hired to run the campaign were not people that I knew, but I was told that they were really good people. And, you know, what they were were political people looking for political jobs. And when they saw that my name was attracting a lot of money they, you know, began to take advantage of that situation.”

This grifter still believes he could be President, hell he can’t even run a small and short lived campaign.

I think Carson thought that all he had to do was criticize the president and his supporters and he could win! I read a couple months ago that the reason he even entertained the idea of entering the race was because Armstrong Williams and some other prominent GOP/TPers met with him in D.C. and told him he could be another Barack Obama. Dude is a political neophyte as evidenced by his cluelessness on every topic, and his inability to come anywhere close to running a winning campaign. He’s a joke.

Very good asssement of Carson

Gotta love his lack of filter…he’d answer any question asked….very very very slow…

He’s hoping everyone falls asleep before he’s finished, and he can sneak away.

“Oh the Philistines about me! But I was pure! I stayed true to The Cause.
And while we’re on the subject of The Cause, I wrote this book I think you’ll like for only $39.95. But wait… there’s more.”
Yeah Ben, grifters as far as the eye can see.

He may be a well thought of surgeon but he never struck me as very smart.

Reminds me of when Chico Esquila wrote a book about his team mates, whie he was still on the team.

Usually it is some staff member that writes a “tell all”book about the canditate but this time Ben is going to turn that tradition around and write a “tell all” book about his staff.

hi allison……..not sure he is a master, maybe a master-in-training….a wan-a-be?
Tinker Bell……thanks for that, now if I have to see his face or hear his voice, I will laugh twice as much!
allison1050 March 30th, 2016 at 10:44

clemans March 30th, 2016 at 11:30

I’ve been so wrapped up in politics almost everything else has come to a halt! How’s the class going? I told Tracey yesterday evening that I learned how to make Crispy Ginger Beef and it was wonderful.
clemans March 30th, 2016 at 12:44
awesome, you will have to give that recipe to me….I didn’t take the cooking class, am going out of town or had decided to take an all day class for writing…..can’t remember which. Taking a bunch of other classes….and planning to take geology in the summer or fall finally, need science.
allison1050 March 30th, 2016 at 14:25
YouTube, then in their search bar type in Crispy Ginger Beef Happy Wok. Near the end of the video you’ll see the ingredients and measurements listed…that a recipe I plan on making again. It sounds as if you’re very busy!
clemans March 30th, 2016 at 14:40
leaving tonight or morning for MO, maybe stopping in KS for a bead shop. Always busy and tired.

Get some rest and don’t over due.
clemans March 30th, 2016 at 16:23
great advice……I am nearly ready, baking cupcakes to take. Meeting friends and sometimes we all meet at one of the meeting rooms at the hotel and share goodies.
I haven’t had to listen to anything Trump has tweeted all afternoon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
allison1050 March 30th, 2016 at 16:34
Here’s my pearls of wisdom for the day, DON’T because you’ll get pissed and will lose that happy feeling.
clemans March 30th, 2016 at 16:58

Throw ’em under the bus Benny!
Et tu Ben?
whatthe46 March 29th, 2016 at 20:17
threw ’em under ran over and backed up to run over ’em again.

HahNAHAHAHAH
clemans March 30th, 2016 at 09:49
that is most likely the perfect description of what he was doing!

I am getting a salary of 6700 dollars each week. Over a year ago I was in a horrible condition ,,pd jobless and no bank credit . Thanks to one of my friends who showed me a way where I was able to gather myself and making average of 58 d/h. So it can change your life as it has changed mine. Why not try this.
Look here for details
rrv…
clemans March 30th, 2016 at 09:47
maybe he is whining that they took more than his fair share?
smiles
whatthe46 March 30th, 2016 at 09:58
sounds like it. the funny thing is that, he seems to not realize that it’s exactly what he was doing.
clemans March 30th, 2016 at 10:28
maybe that is just a warning as to how clueless he really is.
IF he was a good surgeon, maybe the strain got to him….early onset Alzheimer’s? What is your bet?
whatthe46 March 30th, 2016 at 10:33
i’m betting an MRI is necessary.
clemans March 30th, 2016 at 10:41
I agree, and some of those tests they give to people to see if they are having trouble working out problems….
whatthe46 March 30th, 2016 at 10:49
actually, I think it’s a CT Scan.
clemans March 30th, 2016 at 11:32
I do too, but I am not a jailhouse lawyer like some of my kids…..and I believed you meant the correct scan. Give him all of the tests, keep him too busy to run again.
